April 20, 2021 Cypress Fire Station Correspondence 2021-2017 15 <br /> <br />The whole reason that property had caught on fire is because Staff & PD ignored repeated calls <br />for service in securing the property. <br /> <br />With all the advocacy done by so many individual residents over how important the Cypress <br />Street Fire Station is to the neighborhood as a historical site, and knowing how much a Library <br />Technology Hub is needed in our community, it's ridiculous that staff would recommend putting <br />this on the surplus property list. <br /> <br />The Cypress Street Fire Station has to be brought back into community use! <br /> <br />This last Winter in San Antonio, I visited a bookless digital library called the BiblioTech. The <br />BiblioTech footprint looked to be smaller the Cypress Street Fire Station, which would leave <br />room for a History Room archive/display room on that site. <br /> <br />Here are some write ups and images of San Antonio's BiblioTech: <br /> <br />http://blog.dlink.com/first-all-digital-and-bookless-library-opens/ <br /> <br />https://www.zdnet.com/article/is-the-future-of-the-library-bookless/ <br /> <br />https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/BiblioTech-to-offer-curbside-pickup-of-hot- <br />spots-15208261.php <br /> <br />Let's make a BiblioTech happen in Santa Ana's Pacific Park!!! <br /> <br />Looking forward to "seeing" y'all later, <br /> <br />-- SPS <br /> <br />On Mon, 22 Jun 2020 21:11:09 +0000, "Macedonio, Margarita" <MMacedonio@santa-ana.org> <br />wrote: <br />In checking with staff from the City's Community Development Agency, the City is complying <br />the California Surplus Land Act requirement of prioritizing the sale of this property for <br />affordable housing. New legislation that took effect on January 1, 2020 required that a local <br />agency's land be declared as "surplus land" before taking action to dispose of it. <br /> <br />Attached is Resolution declaring 625 South Cypress Avenue as Surplus Land, approved by the <br />City Council on Feb. 18, 2020. <br /> <br />The following is the link to the staff <br />report: https://santaana.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=2631&meta_id=108904 <br /> <br />I sent an Outlook Meeting Invite with GoToMeeting link for today at 6 pm. <br /> <br />Thanks. <br /> <br /> <br />
